Gasoline Prices Going Up

June 10, 1986|By Deanne Brandon

The average price of gasoline has risen more than 7 cents a gallon since April, industry expert Dan Lundberg said Sunday. Prices have swung wildly this year, reaching a high of $1.22 a gallon in January and dropping to a low of 89.96 cents a gallon in April, Lundberg said in his biweekly survey of gasoline prices in all 50 states. The average price for all grades is now 97.08 cents a gallon. Down the road: More increases, Lundberg said, as retailers try to recover from falling prices. Prices now are going up nearly as fast as they went down earlier in the year, he said, indicating that ''dealers are doing their best to get well.''
